Patent number: 11564491Abstract: An example apparatus includes a bracket having a rack attachment member and a guard attachment member, and upper and lower engagement tabs that are coupled to the rack attachment member and have a stem portion and a head portion. The rack attachment member has a lock pin hole above the lower rack engagement tab. The lock pin hole is sized and positioned to provide sufficient cross-sectional area within a rack engagement distance to allow passage of a bracket lock pin therethrough within the rack engagement distance. The apparatus further includes a bracket lock pin having a stabilizing leg coupled to a lock pin head, where the stabilizing leg fits through the lock pin hole and the lock pin head does not. The stabilizing leg urges the lock pin head toward the lock pin hole when the stabilizing leg is passed through the lock pin hole.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: SpaceGuard Products, Inc.Inventors: Edward M. Murphy, Scott A. Jump, Christopher Lee Roberts

Publication number: 20220401646Abstract: An occluder detection system is disclosed. At least one occluder element moves according to a cam motion to apply a periodic compression to a flexible infusion line. A portion of the occluder element is configured to emit or modify an energy or magnetic field. A sensor is configured to measure the energy being emitted or modified by the section of the occluder element. A processor causes the at least one occluder element to move according to the cam motion to move a fluid within the flexible infusion line by periodically compressing the flexible infusion line, measures the energy of the energy source via the sensor, obtains a current cam state associated with the cam motion at a time corresponding to the measured energy, and determines, based on the measured energy and the current cam state, a state of the occluder element. The processor may issue an alarm on a fault condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Edward Stephen FERNER, Stephen D. ROBERTS, Daniel M. ABAL

Patent number: 5921380Abstract: A molded case circuit breaker is taught with a housing base and a primary cover disposed on the housing base. The primary cover has a recess therein for an auxiliary module which is disposed in the recess. A secondary cover is disposed on the primary cover for covering the recess when the auxiliary module is disposed therein. In order to secure the auxiliary module underneath the secondary cover in the recess of the primary cover, the module has deposed thereon a locking protrusion which is complimentary with a locking opening in the primary cover. The locking protrusion is flexible and has a longitudinal central bulge so that as the protrusion is pressed inwardly into the opening, the bulge causes the flexible protrusion to reduce diameter due to the presents of longitudinal slots therein until the bulge has passed the opening in which case it springs outwardly toward its normal position thus securing the protrusion in the base.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1997Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: Eaton CorporationInventors: H. Richard Beck, Michael A. Brown, Trent A. Chontas, Lance Gula, William D. Munsch, Karen L. Panian, Robert M. Pomaybo, Edward M. Roberts
